quilting: what’s on my design wall

I have been working hard this Saturday, finishing up piecing this quilt top.

Tah-dah! It’s a swirl of blue and pink, perfect for a little girl.

I love the rabbits….

And I love the horses….

And the foxes and birds….

And I love all the romantic roses. All such pretty fabric, so cheerful and sort of magical.

So that is the finished top. I have not purchased the backing fabric yet. I want to use this fabric, but it is out of stock until the end of July.

The fabric is called Rosewater, by designer Verna Mosquera for Free Spirit.

What they *do* have in stock is the same fabric in yellow.

What would you do? Be okay with the yellow version, letting it throw a different feel onto the reverse side of the quilt? Or wait for the blue so it’s all matchy-matchy?

I’m not a yellow person, but I think I will be putting this quilt for sale in my shop. I don’t know any little girls who love pink and blue….the fabrics were so beautiful I just wanted to get my hands on them and work!
